Project 82

I thought it might be fun to review all the movies I’d seen at a theater during a particular year from my past, and since I love movies from the 1980s, I chose the year 1982, not only because that list contained a wide variety of movies and genres, but also because I actually had a list of every movie I’d seen in 1982, thanks to the ticket stubs I’d saved throughout the year.

Listed below along with the title of each of those 43 films (including two I saw twice) are the date and time I went, and the theater, city, and state where I saw them. Click any title shown in gold to link to its review. And as you’ll notice, most of these movies were seen at the Mann Rancho Bernardo 6, the multiplex which opened in my small town in 1980, and which immediately became the cinema of choice for my friends and I in the ’80s.
